Fu Shiyi's fifth anniversary memorial service has ended, and the hashtag "[You are my starlight]" has already made it into the top ten trending topics online.
Fu Shiyi's fans happily attended their idol's memorial event and went home joyfully after purchasing the single.
However, upon checking Weibo, I discovered another song, "You Are My Starlight," which Zhou Linna sang and played the guitar at the end of her concert. It was also said to be her upcoming new single.
The melodies are 90% identical, and the lyrics are exactly the same.
Fu Shiyi's fans were furious that someone claimed her fifth anniversary commemorative song was actually her new single.
They all bought the single "You Are My Starlight" CD, but Zhou Linna shamelessly announced at her concert that it was a new single she wrote herself.
As a result, Fu Shiyi's fans flocked to Zhou Linna's Weibo to launch a frenzy of criticism.
[I was initially a fan because of "Our Glamorous Time," but I think I'll become a hater now.]
[The song "You Are My Starlight" was prepared by Tang Jia San Shao's fans as a fifth-anniversary commemorative song. How dare they claim it was your composition?]
A face is a good thing, but unfortunately you don't have one.
[Apologies for plagiarizing "You Are My Starlight".]
[How is this any different from being a thief?]
...
Soon after, Fu Shiyi posted a Weibo post.
[Having become addicted to stealing "Our Glamorous Time" once, now he wants to steal "You Are My Starlight"?]
Meanwhile, Shiyi Culture's official Weibo account also issued a statement.
[The title track "Enchanting Time" from singer Zhou Linna's album, and the new single "You Are My Starlight" announced at her concert, were written and composed by our company's signed lyricist and composer, Luo Qianqian. Their unauthorized use is unacceptable, and our company and Ms. Luo Qianqian will take legal action to protect our legitimate rights.]
The two Weibo posts, published one after the other, enraged Fu Shiyi's fans.
[What the heck? Even "Our Glamorous Time" is plagiarized? Are you kidding me?]
[Where does Ms. Zhou get the audacity to tell her fans that she created it herself?]
[The image of this talented singer-songwriter is so poorly portrayed that it's unbearable to watch.]
[Having tasted success by stealing one song, she now wants to steal "You Are My Starlight." What kind of talented woman pretends to be if she can't write songs?]
[I beg Ms. Zhou to retire from the music scene and stop tarnishing music.]
...
Not only Fu Shiyi's fans, but also passersby were shocked.
No one expected that the recently popular novel "Our Glamorous Time" was not written by Zhou Linna, but was actually plagiarized from someone else's work.
If this were someone else's song, or a different song altogether, perhaps Fu Shiyi's fans wouldn't be so angry.
However, "You Are My Starlight" was a commemorative song that Fu Shiyi dedicated to his fans on his fifth anniversary. This song was stolen and almost released as a single.
How could Fu Shiyi's fans not be angry?
Zhou Linna, who hadn't been on the trending topics list for a long time, was suddenly criticized by the entire internet and ended up in the top five of Weibo's trending topics.
Following the statements from Fu Shiyi and Shiyi Culture's official Weibo accounts, a lyricist and composer named Lin Zhou posted on Weibo.
[First of all, I would like to sincerely apologize to Mr. Fu Shiyi and his fans, as well as Ms. Zhou Linna and her fans. I previously worked at Shiyi Culture and took advantage of my position to take some of Ms. Luo Qianqian's creative manuscripts. Due to financial difficulties, I sold them at a high price to Huashang Entertainment, where Zhou Linna works. This has caused great harm to Mr. Fu Shiyi and Ms. Zhou Linna today. Please allow me to apologize once again.]
Huashang Entertainment immediately reposted the Weibo post, stating: "The song plagiarism was committed by the lyricist and composer, and has nothing to do with Ms. Zhou Linna. We will also take legal action."
